I’m posting today from Bolgheri, where I’m visiting a few wineries. I can’t get online but for a minute: no wifi or other connection, just a shared computer at the hotel’s front desk. But I wanted to share these pics snapped day-before-yesterday at the Sanguineto winery in Acquaviva (Montepulciano). Ben and I had a blast tasting with the girls and their wines are fantastic.
More later…
May I say you seem energized now that you’ve left LA?
Great pics. Love the geese!
love the pics of the chiacchierone.
Ciao AC
Dora and Patri are a hoot, and Aquaviva is a little bit of Paradise tucked away in the beautiful province of Tuscany. I import Sanguineto for the West Coast and it sells well in LAX, but I’m looking for a retailer in the SFO/SJ area. Got any suggestions? Let me know please at ejsintl@gmail.com
Thanks,
EJS

Any idea where these wines can be found in the New York area? Seems they have no importer here, which is odd…
I came across your article while researching natural wines before a trip to Montepulciano and once there, hunted down this wine and winery. The first wine shop I went to in Montepuliciano chuckled when I was looking for them. “Not many tourists know about this! We are very proud of them.” Turns out only two shops in town sold it, the one i was standing in (which was sold out) and one other, which only had three bottles left!
Since it was a wedding that brought me to Italy, the group wanted to tour a winery so I suggested Sanguineto. We had a fabulous time, the ladies are a hoot. The wine is absolutely delicious.
Sanguineto is imported to the east coast through Boston. I don’t have the importer info with me right now, but I’ll post again so that those who would like can track it down.
Thanks for the article — it really made for a special time on my trip!
Sanguineto wines can be found in New York at Chambers Street Wines.
Have not found a vendor in the SF area yet.
Seems like something Kermit Lynch would carry.
